Overview

LTE, an acronym for Long-Term Evolution, commonly marketed as 4G

LTE, is a standard for wireless communication of high-speed data for
mobile phones and data terminals.

It was started as a project in 2004 by telecommunication body known

as the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

It provides the fastest mobile broadband services commercially

available today.

According to latest Ericsson Mobility Report, there will be 9.3 billion

mobile subscriptions in 2019. 65% of the world's population will have
LTE coverage 2019.

The high speeds are made possible by using more radio spectrum per
connection, multiple antenna pads and more efficient encoding of the
data being sent and received.

Goals

The goal of LTE was to increase the capacity and speed of

wireless data networks using new DSP (digital signal processing)
techniques and modulations that were developed around the turn
of the millennium.

A further goal was the redesign and simplification of the network

architecture to an IP-based system with significantly reduced
transfer latency compared to the 3G architecture.

The LTE wireless interface is incompatible with 2G and 3G

networks, so that it must be operated on a separate radio
spectrum.

Building an LTE
Network

Antennas and radio base stations eNodeB

A transport network including microwave links, optical fibres and IP

routers.

A connection to the IP networks known as the gateway.

A controller to manage mobility called the Mobility Management

Utility(MME).

A Home Subscriber Server(HSS) database which contains

information about all the individual subscriptions.

A policy management system to ensure that the services are

delivered accordingly.

An IP Multimedia Subsystem to handle Voice over LTE and other

multimedia services.

Working of an LTE
System Data Transmission

Advantages

Improved browsing and online experience thanks to

lower latency and unwanted delays.

Better app coverage i.e. better performance in

multimedia applications through higher upload and
download speeds.

Enhanced voice communication with higher voice

quality and shorter call establishment time.

Cost effective.
